Default Use of FLaps in emergency situations


This makes no sense to me. How can you be in a _stabilised_ approach
and not be assured of the runway? Why is the approach to the short


I didn't think a stabilized approach was a power-off approach. You can
be in a stablized approach, lose power, and the landing is not assured.
That's what I meant.

Do you do all your approaches at 6 degrees to avoid not making the
runway in the event of power loss? Doesn't sound like a bad policy, but
not what i was taught, and not always possible.
